If you're inspired, go for it! There : are plenty of docs on the web about how to attach a serial port header : and bootstrap it. And, don't underestimate the mips32 work that is : already in the tree; it's likely a good starting point. I believe that these are only in p4. The only mips things that I could find in my current tree were the atheros drivers. The p4 stuff is a port of the netbsd mips code with a lot of stuff ripped out. I'm not sure that the right stuff remains, since it was targeted at modern mips devices. Yet many new mips devices use 'ancient' design. I don't think that the WRT54G uses such things, but you never can tell with mips cores :-). : And, it's more than just a 'coolness' factor. I'd really like to have : pf running on mine, that way I could rid of the clunky machine doing : static NAT + firewall on my DSL line. THe linux firewall capabilities : are soooooo last century =-) Totally agreed! Warner
